Development projects we are working on — from projects under construction to communities in planning — as we keep growing across Wisconsin and Iowa.

Under construction

Johnson Creek, WI

Shadow Ridge Apartments

Modern Living. Community Focused.

Welcome to Shadow Ridge, Johnson Creek's newest premier residential community. Nestled at the quiet northern end of Remmel Drive, this master-planned, multi-phase neighborhood blends small-town Wisconsin charm with the modern comforts you deserve. Designed and developed by National Management, Shadow Ridge delivers upscale, market-rate living with unmatched commuter convenience.

Property highlights

The neighborhood: 22 beautifully crafted, low-density buildings spread across a professionally landscaped estate.

Exclusive privacy: each residential building features just 8 apartment homes, ensuring a quiet, neighborly atmosphere.

Every building includes 8 single-car attached garages — one for each unit — and private entrances for each unit.

Total capacity: 176 market-rate residential units upon full multi-phase completion.

Ideal location: situated just past Sunset Ridge Assisted Living on Remmel Drive, offering a peaceful residential pocket with instant access to local shopping, dining and the I-94 corridor.

Apartment features & floor plans

Shadow Ridge offers a thoughtful mix of one, two, and three-bedroom floor plans tailored to fit your lifestyle. Every apartment home is engineered with an emphasis on open-concept space, natural light and high-quality finishes.

Each of the 22 buildings contains 8 units: 2 one-bedroom / one-bath units (approximately 1,021 sq ft), 2 two-bedroom / two-bath units (approximately 1,233 sq ft), 2 two-bedroom / two-bath units (approximately 1,196 sq ft), 1 two-bedroom / two-bath unit with den (approximately 1,446 sq ft) and 1 three-bedroom / two-bath unit (approximately 1,446 sq ft).

Across all 22 buildings, that works out to 176 apartment homes in total: 44 one-bedroom / one-bath, 88 two-bedroom / two-bath, 22 two-bedroom / two-bath with den and 22 three-bedroom / two-bath.

Modern kitchens: efficient layouts with contemporary cabinetry and full appliance packages. Convenient layouts: spacious living areas with dedicated storage options. Pet-friendly environment: welcoming spaces designed with your four-legged family members in mind.

Construction & phasing updates

We are committed to transparent development as we build this vibrant new community.

Phase 1 infrastructure is complete — water, sewer and storm utilities have been fully installed and integrated. Concrete pouring, structural framing and site grading are actively underway on the initial building phases, and leasing will begin in early summer 2027.

Location & commuter access

Shadow Ridge places you at the heart of Southeast Wisconsin's manufacturing and retail hub while maintaining a peaceful backyard feel — quick access to the Johnson Creek Premium Outlets for destination shopping, and a perfect midway position between Madison and Milwaukee via nearby Interstate 94.
